Releasing of Activity

Dear All,
Is there any chace to release the Activity Manually even though the the Upper level WBS release. Means if i am realising the Upper Level WBS even though the system should not release the Activity under that WBS. Is there any change?
Regards

Raj,
When you release a WBS element, all dependent objects will be released. This means that hierarchically inferior WBS elements, networks and activities will be released.
This is a standard behaviour and cannot be avoided.
Hope I have understood your request.

Error while releasing an activity from NWDS

Hi,
I am facing the below error while releasing an activity from NWDS - transport view.
Internal error: the export of SC_CR com.xxx.xxx/xxx_SOFTWARE_COMPONENT#Track_D.118 failed. tcs returncode was 12
Check in and activate was successfull and in CMS, the activity is shown as activated.
Please help me to rectify this error.
Thanks in advance!

Manchari. N

Make sure you are connected to NWDI server.
Also create a new activity for a different component in the same track.

GOA Release button activation

Hello,
We don't want to keep the location(plant) information mandatory on Global Outline Agreement documents in order to release and distribute to the backend.
We are experiencing a situation where if we dont enter the location information on Item Detail -> Distribution tab, the release button stays inactive. However, if we hold the document and then release then there is no problem to approve and replicate the document on R/3.
Do you have a suggestion how to prevent this situation and be able to release without location information.
Thank you,

Unfortunately i didn't get an aswer yet and couldn't resolve the problem.
Did anyone of you experience such a problem?

Hi Ervin,
We are still facing the same problem.
At the moment there is no time to investigate this problem.
In our case this track contains only 3 portal apps, so we are deploying these applications manually.

Process steps on releasing activity and importing in consolidation of cms

Hi All,
I have a question on consolidation in nwdi,I have develpment configurations trackname_dev and trackname_con. I imported trackname_dev and checked out(asked for activity ,so created the activity) and modified an ess DC and then checked in to DTR and activated so it got activated without errors, so the code from inactive workspace is pushed and merged to active workspace its fine till now., when i released the activity its in cms consolidation queue when i hit import the activity in queue what is happening now.
How the changes i made in trackname dev in active workspace of DTR are pushed to tracknamecon
so does it takes from trackname _dev in active workspace of DTR and pushes to inactive workspace of trackname _con andthen build in trackname _con workspace and activated so if again the activation passes the code goes to active workspace of DTR of trackname _cons from where assembly takes place.Am i right?
In simple words what is the process taking place when i hit release the activity and then hitting the import in consolidation queue of CMS?
I am asking this because my activation has no errors and Modified DC is good in green in trackname_D buildspace but when i hit import in the consolidation tab in cms after import the same DC in trackname_C its red as broken dc as it has compilation errors.
Please give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
PKV.

Hi,
I guess the problem is because of version/patch you maintained in DEV system is different when compared to Cons/Test system.
First step you need to do is just open the console of DEV & CONS check the SC versions and patch levels.
I think this might definetly resolve your issue.

Problem in activating the data source using a web service

Hi all,
I have created a web service with Logical and Source System names and i have selected nothing in the Type and Release.
Activated the created web service.
Later i tried creating a data source based on this web service source system and tried activating the data sources.
But it is throwing an error saying that error generating the Web Service /BIC/CQWEB_SER_000020000 and error while activating the data source.
Can any one say why is this happening and is there any pre requisites to be done while creating the web service?
what is the use of Type and Release while creating the webservice?
Thanks,
Pra.

Hi
Please consider reference tables also while creating view, otherwise it won't accept when there are amount and currency fields.

Hi Vijayalaxmi,
Following are the steps for transporting the content from DEV to QA
1. Check in the activity into DTR and activate it. Once it is activated successfully it will show green
2. Now go to transport view and release the activity by drilling down in waiting... node.
3. Once the activity is released it becomes available in the Consolidation tab of CMS.
4. Import the activity in consolidation tab
5. Assemble the components in the Assembly tab.
Once you assemble an .SCA file is created in \usr\<SID>\trans\CMS
6. Copy this file manually and deploy it using SDM in QA.
Hope it clears your doubts
Best Regards,
Ravi

System is very well allowing to release partial budget, where as you miss understood the concept of partial budget. Budget availability check always compare assigned value against released budget. In your case assigned value is more than budget value.
If you want to do partial procurement then plan the material on two activities and set the system such a way that PR should be generated on releasing of activity. and release only the first activity so that your PR will generate only for that amount.

Print PO after release

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement that i will create the PO but i would like to have print when i release the same.
Please let me know how to do settings for the same.
regards
suresh

Hi,
If you have release strategy activated, then the PO will not be printed unless released. You can test & check the same
Put a condition in your ABAP code that
if PO is not having "Release indicator" - 9 (EKKO-FRGKE)
then print should not be generated and Error message should display.
The other filed you can use is "Subject to Release" EKKO-FRGRL for put up condition
Thanks & Regards

How can i block PO adopt from PR with no release tab

Dear Experts,
I need to block PO creation ( by adoptation of PR) from PR which has no release tab active. Kindly help me how can i do this.
From unreleased PR , PO can not be created and it is standard SAP function. But if PR has no release tab then PO can be created from that PR and no error or warning is there. But i need to block PO creaation from the PR which as no released tab active.
Please help.
Kind regards,
Zusen

Hi Zusen,
Would not be good idea to place those PRs in release strategy? In this way PO(s) will not be created until PR(s) is released. Have a look at release strategy of PR under the path; IMG-Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Requisition-Release Procedure
Otherwise you have to develop some coding. You can use BADI: ME_PROCESS_PO in order to control unreleased PR. If EBAN-FRGRL is NULL in PO then you can place an error message as you want.
Kind regards

Trying to understand the Release Process with Milestones

Here's my goal:
I want to control the release of a project so that only certain WBSs can accumulate costs once certain milestones are reached. I want to block people from confirming activities out of order.
I created a project with the following activities:
Kick Off (milestone) -> Design -> Approve (stop milestone)
The design activity is where we will plan work and charge time.
I released the Kick Off activity only, leaving the Design & Approve activities in the CRTD status
It has it's own WBS, so my project looks like this:
Project (top WBS) PREL
Kick Off activity REL
Design WBS CRTDDesign Activity CRTD
Approve activity CRTD
When I final confirm the Kick Off activity with CN25, the system reports an error:
"CN699 One or more than one activity was not released. See log"
The Kick Off activity gets status "FKTF - Error when processing function". There is no way I can find to view a log to see what happened. After googling around it seems like the release failed because my Design WBS is not released, however releasing this WBS also releases the Design Activity!
Questions:
What am I missing? How is this milestone release function meant to be used?
If I cannot automatically release an activity in a WBS that is not released, how do you release the WBS only? Why can I release an activity manually in project builder (giving the WBS PREL) , but not automatically with a milestone?
Where is the log mentioned in the CN699 error?
How do you un-release something? In case it was released by mistake, I want to unrelease it so no charges are made.

Hi,
WBS 'Release' status can control whether you can confirm activity assigned to it. If you release WBS , all assigned activity ( Please make sure you are using Activty assigned network PS02 & you have mentioned WBS element in the network activity details. Do not maintain WBS in network header) will be released automatically.
Anyway you have released kickoff activity, just make sure assinged WBS is also released. You may need to create one more WBS ( kick off WBS) just like design WBS at same level.
A
1: There is no such thing as 'Stop Milestone'( Or Start Milestone). Milestones are assigned to last activity you want to monitor for completion meaning when network activity in fully Confirmed(CNF) & there is milestone assigned to it, Milestone is considered release. You can have many functions with Milestone reaching released status( trigger billing unblock, MilestoneTrend analaysis)
2: You can manually release activity in WBS . Releasing WBS will release activity automatically so you cannot prevent activity release , if you decide to release WBS. WBS is parent object & releasing it will release all child object.
Milestone release will not release activity, it is otherway around. Reaching CNF status on last activity will release milestone.
3: Go to network display , there must be log , if activity status shows it.
4: There is no undo functions for 'Release' (Like Cancel TECO) of project/WBS/Activity. Since you can start posting cost after relese , it will violate integrity , if such function is provided. There could be BAPI available to unrelease .
Hope this helps,
Jatin

Problem in Workflow in Purchase Order for Several Level of Release Process

Hello everybody,
I have to create a workflow in which a release steps are assined by the size of amount. so in minimum 2 to maximum of 4 level approval. When the first person approves the workflow shold go to the next person. I have used the standard task TS20000166 activity in a loop and each time i'm using different user as agent. But after the first person approves and saves the activity is trminated by the first release PO from the screen. But when it loops and comes to the activity of second release, even after the release the activity is not terminating. It shows it is in process. The event of 'release' which shold have terminated the activity shows a error message in 'Display Event Trace' that "No configuration for workflow WS98000003 version 0000". But no error is shown in the workflow log.
Could u please tell how to solve this issue?? or any other way to achive the requiremnt of different levels of release based on the size of the amount?? Required solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajo

add loop end condition as release indicator = 'R'. Also dont forget to add the terminating event "Released" for the task you are using..
revert in case of prob

Automatic release of network activities

We are currently completing the configuration/implementation of the
Project System module.
We want SAP to automatically release the following network activities
upon final confirmation of an activity.
As an example, letu2019s say we have a simple network of 3 activities:
Activity 10 (Predecessor of activity 30, type of relationship
is FS with activity 30)
Activity 20 (Also predecessor of activity 30, type of
relationship is FS with activity 30)
Activity 30 (Successor of activities 10 and 20u2026therefore,
activities 10 and 20 are predecessors of activity 30)
Based on these relationships, before activity 30 may begin (or may be
released), both activities 10 and 20 must have been completed.
If a u201Cfinal confirmationu201D is set on activity 10, we want SAP to
automatically set the u201Creleaseu201D status on activity 30 if, and only if
activity 20 is also final confirmed.
We are trying to accomplish this using the milestone function
If we put a milestone on activity 10u2026
In the milestone, we:
Set the u201Cfunctionsu201D indicator
Select the function u201C Release following activitiesu201D
Enter the status CNF for confirmed in the u201CSyst.STS u201Cfield.
Set the u201CChange statusu201D indicator to +
Letu2019s say we now have the following statuses on the network activities:
Activity 10 = REL
Activity 20 = REL
Activity 30 = CRTD
Then, if we final confirm (status CNF) on activity 10, SAP triggers the
milestone function and release activity 30, even if activity 20 is not
confirmed yet!!!
After final confirmation of activity 10, the statuses on the network
activities are:
Activity 10 = CNF
Activity 20 = REL
Activity 30 = REL
Why is it releasing activity 30, even if activity 20 is not confirmed?
Activity 20 must be completed also before activity 30 may be
released!!??
Therefore, in this situation described, when the milestone on activity
10 was triggered by the final confirmation of activity 10, activity 30
should not have been released.
Activity 30 should be released only when activity 10 and 20 would have
the status CNF.
What am I missing?
How can I setup the milestone so it reacts properly, taking into
account the relationships between the activities?
I look forward to your inputs.
Thanks
Frederick

Hello Frederick,
unfortunately scenario described will not work. I. e. milestone function does not consider status of the other activity and will release the directly linked activity.
One may check whether required logic can be implmenented in customer exit CNEX0028 (not CNEX0029).
As an alternative one may try to implement the logic in a substitution exit to trigger status change via ABAP internal function calls. However this requires a deep understanding of ABAP and of PS code.
Kind regards
Peter

Activty release should be possible only after WBS release

Hi Gurus
My customer wants release of activity only after release of WBS element. Is there any user exit available for that or can i write some validation for the same.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Abhijit Sen

Hi,
Ofcourse, you can create activities with initial user status which prohibits "release". If activities are assigned to WBS, with release of WBS , the activity also gets released. But how to change the user status (other than manually) is to be figured out.
